Tohoku has made leaps and bounds in recovering from the earthquake and tsunami, but the people still need help. Please consider purchasing a
charity calendar as a holiday gift. There's also a cookbook (
Peko Peko) and a literary anthology (
Fable for Japan) that will donate proceeds to relief funds. You can also spread a little holiday cheer to the kids in Tohoku by sending them Christmas cards; instructions can be found at
JETAA USA.
